1. Nice! Buttermilk sky?

3. I've never heard that term, but yes,

it does look like mottled buttermilk.

7. Ah, there's a whole old Hoagy Carmichael song and everything

[mnhtnbb]

8. Very cool.

My apartment building overlooks an event venue--run by the City of Raleigh--in the old City Market. Tonight there was an event with tables and a small band outside for the first time since last March. Probably a small wedding within our state mandated gathering sizes. There would be wedding parties there every Saturday night when I walked by there around 5 pm before the coronavirus shut everything down. Tonight there was a saxaphone playing while I was out shooting on my balcony.

2. Omigod, my dear mnhtnbb!

This is just stunning!

The clouds make the moon ripple and Mars just shows up on their edge.

Great catch!

6. It really was lovely.

I was watching a documentary and looked out the window. Stopped the documentary and ran for the camera. Everything shifts quickly when there are clouds!

I caught them in a clear sky, from a suburban parking lot; will be home to the further waning moon Monday.
